TO THE PUBLIC,
MR. JOHN ROBINSON, who formerly kept a Livery Stable in Beekman and Cliff streets, and of whom I first leased the property, under an expres verbal stipulation, that he would not establish another Livery Stable at any place east of Broadway, and of whom I have since purchased the said property, has lately opened a Livery Stable in Cliff-street, nearly adjoining mine. In adtion to which, the coloured man by the name of JOE, who has been for nearly twenty years in my employ, has, without my knowledge or consent, and under what inducements I will not pretend to say, gone into the employ of the said Robinson.
This, therefore, is to inform the public, to whom I feel under many obligations for past favours, of the above circumstances; and more particularly, that my customers may not be misled by the said JOE, (who is so generally known) to suppose, that they are employing my carriage and man; when, in fact, they are employing the carriage and man of a person by whom I have been thus, to say the least, most ungenerously treated.
C. W. VAN RANST,
Jan. 22—1w No. 14 Beekman-street
